Thor's is my favorite one posted so far. At first I wasn't sure about the gurgling sounding vocals, but they grew on me. Good job, dude.

why thank you james that's very nice of you to say ! i recorded it with garageband '06 ! i think i'm going to go buy a bass guitar in the near future, and/or maybe a synthesizer ? i'm enjoying playing music a lot lately but i don't know anything at all about this side of it. i just know when i hear things that sound nice to my ears.

I really wish someone would do a pop version of a Black Sabbath song with auto-tuned vocals. Jame, I'm lookin at you kid.

lyrics:
SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW
I have thought about my soul - it need not be saved
And when I'm dead I truly believe I'll just stay in my grave
God's merely a thought within your head - a useless part of you
Christ - just a name from a fantasy book from thought's weakest school

As I dream of death and that chilling breath I keep my cool
As for hanging the pope, I will provide the rope to silence that fool
Well I speak the truth and I'm my own guide - an enlightened way
My spirit's prepared for the emptiness there at the end of my days

Could it be that you dread how the herd would bray
If they knew you were free of god, their crutch?
Fully realized, I now criticize
Claims that god grants paths to love

Still you have the gall to draw lines for all
With smug satisfaction at all you've done
While I laugh and jeer until death is here
Life's too short to be worshipping anyone

Your persecution complex will not make you a Christ
It's a blessing to see that each human is free to make the right choice
I'll be calm and sure until my day is near - a vivid libertine
Each moment's a chance to cast off shame and beg not for reprieve

I hope and pray for enlightened days where god is forgotten
Open our spiritual eyes and finally cauterize those wretched stigmata
A glorious dawn shines out upon the young and liberates
The future's souls - they shall glimmer as gold - a boundless fate

computer i'm using has no speakers hooked up to it, so i wait with baited breath to hear rosses take on after forever.

that said, i assume that he got richard dawkins to rewrite the lyrics during a heavy flow period.

ahaha, how can I not get pissy and emotional over BS telling us how important it is to be saved... initially I intended the music to be kvlt black metal, but once I was done with the words I realized I'd replicated first-four-albums Immolation lyrics, so I went with a tribute to them

very compressive, ross!
SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW
err, impressive!
so what mic/interface/preamp/etc are you using on that? vocal sound is fucking wonderful!

my shit used a vintage green bullet (which sounds absolutely NO better than a red howler, i've discovered) for the phased and cleans stuff, and a plane jane sm58 for the growls in the middle.

it's a Rode NT1-A condenser into preamp (The Brick) into the soundcard... I am pretty happy with how it came out, I just stood there and growled, no shevil tricks (fractional cupping) necessary

all the guitars were tracked with brand new strings which really helped sell the squealies :tup:

glad you dug it

real talk: i'm a shameless semi and full cupper on the 58, in addition to non. i think of it sorta of like the charm of that mic, and just part of a pallet of techniques available to it, allowing you 3 stages of effect/dynamic modulation in addition to you own voice without requiring a multi-effect. to me i think it's just using the mic as an instrument, no more cheating than tapping. but then again i'm quite obviously not trying to make traditional metal most of the time anymore, either.
SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW
with Crown of Bullets my hands are busy, so it's all just my asthmatic wheeze.
man, i've got to get my fernandes back in playable condition. i miss the sustain to harmonic for poppin' squealies.

oh, I'm not taking any sort of ivory tower stances on technique here - I would do whatever it took to get a sound I was happy with, but in this case simple worked

can you even cup a condenser mic? I feel like it would destroy it :confused:

damn. I have Competition.

also, Riley -- your "oh no"s make Satan sound like he's a small dog with a chew toy. "Oh nooo ... Satan's got his squeaky hedgehog, I'd better turn around and run before he gives me puppy kisses!" I'm not sure if this was the intended effect, but if so :tup: .
